Pilot Skills & Perks
Every captain in Starforge MMO develops a personal skill tree — a unique fingerprint of expertise that grows as you play. Unlike empire-wide technologies, pilot skills are yours alone: earned through gameplay, shaped by playstyle, and respec-able to experiment with new builds. Five branches offer deep specialisation, and your capstone choices define your identity on the battlefield.
